Field Hockey Canada (FHC), incorporated in 1991, is a Canadian sport federation responsible, with their Provincial partners, for the development and growth of field hockey in Canada. Hockey, as it is called in most other countries, has the distinction of being the largest team sport played by both men and women in the world.
In Canada, 15,000 competitive and recreational players enjoy the game playing on either one of the 400 clubs or 600 plus school teams across the country. Field hockey, as in other parts of the world, continues to grow throughout Canada. Field Hockey Canada's primary role is to provide top coaching, training, and competitive opportunities to prepare our men's and women's National Teams to compete against the world's best field hockey nations.
FHC is committed to getting our teams into the Top 8 teams in the world. FHC is also committed to growing the sport by increasing the exposure of Canadians to world class field hockey in Canada through an ambitious international hosting plan. Canada recently hosted the 2008 Women's Olympic Qualifierr from Victoria, British Columbia and will be bidding for and hopefully staging significant other world class competitions over the next 3-4 years, event such as a Junior World Cup or World Cup Qualifier.
These goals of preparing world class teams and growing the sport via hosting international events require the commitment and dedication of many talented athletes, their families and FHC staff and volunteers throughout Canada. However, the essential ingredient needed to support our national teams and event staging is new partnerships with corporations that will bring in additional resources, while creating value for the sponsors.
